Norman Bogner
99 Sycamore Place
An old,
buried evil rears its ugly head and shows it
was never really dead – 99 Sycamore Place
has its roots very close to home for NY
Times best-selling author, Norman Bogner,
and has all the makings of yet another
record-breaking best-seller.
Norman Bogner lived
in Europe for 14 years. During this period, he worked at
the publishing house Jonathan Cape as an editor. He was
subsequently appointed Editorial Manager. Among the many
authors he edited were John Fowles, Edna O'Brien, Ronald
Harwood, Arnold Wesker, C. Day Lewis, and A.W. Lawrence
(T.E. Lawrence's brother).
He also edited Derek Walcott's first volume of poetry,
two novels by Claude Simon, and Alan Paton's book of
short stories, Debbie Go Home. These three gentlemen
eventually won Nobel Prizes for Literature.
He was also a contributor to a number of magazines and
reviewed for the Sunday Times and the Times Literary
Supplement.
He left publishing for ABC-TV (renamed Thames-TV) and
ran "Armchair Theatre," an anthology drama series
comparable to "American Playhouse." He was responsible
for a 105 hours of network television, and discovered
and commissioned a number of then-unknown writers,
including Tom Stoppard, Alan Ayckbourne, Charles Wood,
and the late Dennis Potter.
When he had a breakthrough with his novel Seventh
Avenue, he was able to devote himself to writing full
time. Along the way, he wrote, rewrote, and
script-doctored a significant number of entirely
forgettable films.
Bogner's bestselling novels include Seventh Avenue, The
Madonna Complex, Making Love, and California Dreamers;
his books have sold 22 million copies worldwide. Seventh
Avenue became a six hour mini-series on NBC.
